Comment on Saw this and thought it was fake until I googled. It's real.

The increase in child labour in America does seem concerning. I’m not American so I haven’t heard too much but I did hear there are some 14 year olds packing meat? Meat processing plants are awful places to work for anyone but especially kids.

There have been several teenagers severely injured or killed working on and around dangerous industrial equipment in sawmills and meat processing facilities already, yeah, and one company alone had illegally employed over 100 kids for the night shift or illegally hired 13 year-olds (under the minimum age of 14). It’s galling and more than a little chilling, in the context of the sustained attacks on reproductive rights and access to contraception.
